Little Dancer by Bridget Cline

Bridget writes about her image:

It was a special day down in Phoenix, AZ, this past September when I had the privilege of photographing a young dancer who had never experienced a professional photoshoot. We started by getting a team of professionals to work their magic on her hair and makeup.

During the photoshoot, I had some talented assistants helping me manipulate the dress fabric to create a sense of movement and grace in the shots. It was a team effort to capture the essence of her performance.

I used my Nikon Z6 with a 50mm lens to capture this moment.   I love the result of this image, that tells the story of this young dancer’s journey and her passion for her craft.  It also reflects the dedication and talent of our team. It’s a testament to the power of photography to capture the beauty of a fleeting moment and transform it into a timeless work of art.
